Colts Beat Goderich in Overtime Seventy minutes of strenuous hock- ey with the Colts apparently beaten. at the end of the first period when the score stood 4-1. in favor of God- erich, :the Colts cutting the score to 5-4 ae the second period ended, tying it .up in the third sand scoring the winning goal in the gvertime sums up the game here Friday night. The Bailors deserved their formid- able lead at the end of the first per- iod for they outplayed the Colts lilac ticlly all the way. They' played a close checking .game and •time after time made the Colts look like oldplugs ready for the fertilizer. factory. Pic- kett scored after 7 minutes of play with Streets getting the assist. The goal came when Young was penalized for tripping. Then J. Elliott was sent to the cooler and Goderich capitaliz- ed by tying the score. In less than five minutes Goderich scored four goals, O'Brien, McKay, Westbrook and Grant being the marksmen. Apparently Manager Elliott gave the boys a pep talk during the in- termission. In anyevent they came out to make a much better showing for the remainder of the game. Two and a half minutes from the opening of the period F. McEwen and Foster combined on a neat goal. Grant was penalized for tripping and all through the two minutes the puck was in God- erich territory. Then with the teams at full .strength Doak and Young got away together to snake it 5-2 for God- erich. J. Elliott and R. McEwen each added a goal to the Clinton tally and the period ended with the score 5-4 in favor of Goderich. Stoddart was the only man to draw a penalty in. the last period. Foster pulled that Stat trick 'by scoring the` tying goal' in a melee around the Goderich net and F. McEwen almost put the game on ice when he made a brilliant sole effort but was unable to beat Swiger. The Colts were play- ing much better together and for a frill five minutes play was all in Goderich territory. Going into overtime the Colts forg- ed ahead in less than two minutes after' time with their superior corn - from the opening bell. Streets scored bination plays. The goal getters for Clinton were Monteith 2, McEwen 2, Powell 1, Sperling 2, Haddie 1, and Colquhoun 1, Only three penalties were famded out in the game, two to Clinton and one to London. Clinton' Lion $' Trim Mitchell Twice The Clinton tions defeated the Mitchell Meteors to the tune of 9-5 in the Mitchell 'arena last Friday night. It was 0. fast, clean game; and the locals qutplayed their op- position almost 14 a standstill.. Powell was an outstanding player for the Clinton la s. Easily' the small- est man on the ice, his speed and trickery more then equalled his lack of stature, as fogoals and one as-' sist.would verify.; Colquhoun opened the scoring in the first period at six minutes and t),velve minutes later Powell and Monteith again combined. Pearson accounted for Mitchell's only goal of the period at seventeen, min- utes, Hr the second Vionteith gave Mc- Ewen the pass fpr . a count at nine minutes, then Sykes lowered the tally on a lone rush. Cook was given the first penalty of the game for high sticking and Sykes again beat Hawk- ins. Colquhoun opened the final period with a neat goal from Nparling's as- sistbut Pearce again sistatfourm res a e g tied the score onr, a rebound. Sykes put Mitchell ahead on a long shot from centre ice,: but Monteith tied it up from a scyamble in front of the net, and a minute later fed Powell a pass for the winning counter. Cook and Sykes got into a fight and were sent to the cooler and in the next minute Powell went wild going down alone for a count at 20.15, again at 20.30, and again to give McEwen the pass for the final count within the remaining two minutes of the game. Last night the Lions easily tock the Mitchell team again by the score of 15.3.' It was a good game despite the large score. Bill Counter was cut in the face in the first period and had to retire from the game. The Lions line of Monteith, Powell and McEwen accounted for practically all the goals. ---Lions-Wriip'London'--• Juveniles On Saturday afternoon the Lions Juveniles jonrneyed down to Ilderton for an exhibition game with a picked team from London. At the end of the final period the Clinton boys had piled up a score of 0-1' and fairly swarmed over their opposition time the winning goal with Pickett getting the assist. Swiger was out of the net in an effort to clear a dangerous Colts rash and Kel's shot was a beauty. The remainder of the overtime was stren- uous hockey with Clinton very much on the defensive and protecting their one goal margin. Rath was out of the game with cracked ribs and Port- erfield and Youngblutt were called upon to do double service on defence, Goderich-Goal Swiger; def.

A Bouquet for the Colts The Tavistock Gazette sports scribe hands out a nice bouquet on the type of hockey the Colts played in their two games with the Tavistock Green - shirts. In his column "Sport Spice" he writes as follows: "Clean playing on the part of teams makes for good hockey. Witness the game on Mon- day night (Jan. 23). Only one pen- alty, and that for a minor trip. It is indeed a pleasure to watch a. game of that kind, and we must commend both the 'Shirts and the Colts on their playing. We wish we could say the same for the other three teams 10 the group. We don't like "dirty" hock- ey, the fans don't like "dirty" hoekey and the sooner offenders are checked harder than ever the better for the game as a whale.". For the Colts and Clinton hockey fans we say "thanks" and return the compliment. We have heard many favorable comments about the sports- manship the ''Shirts showed in those two games and would like to see it continue throughout the bal- ance of the schedule. No team in the league likes clean hockey better than t{lse Colts, but if the other teams must use dirty tactics they retaliate. So far this year the majority of games have been rough, tough and nasty from a playing standpoint and there are very few who will disagree with. the Tavistock scribe in his point that offenders should be checked hard- er than ever - and we don't' mean bodycheeks. Penalties are usually costly and it is up to the referees to repress the dirty stuff, Mitchell Here Monday Tonight the Colts play in Seaforth which promises to be a real game be- cause the Colts took the first game there by a 4-2 score. The Mitchell team will make their first appearance here on Monday night and although they now stand at the foot of the league anything can happen as a number of upsets in previous games will testify. Having taken a 9-5 beating on' home ice they will be " out to see if they can pull themselves out of the cellar. If they can beat Goderich tomorrow night another win would put them on even footing.

At the last meeting the two new members took an active parr in the discussions and we understand they have other matters to bring up at this meeting. The average public attendance at last year's meetings, could safely be set at six, showing a surprising lack of public interest in the affairs of the town. These meetings are for the public and attendance would, show that their reresentatives are receiving support and backing as they conduct the town's business. This meeting' will start at 7 p.m. sharp. District Hockey League On Tuesday night another double- header in the District Hockey League was played in the Clinton rink. Lan- desbore and Tuckersmith were the first teams to take the ice and battled away for the duration of the game with Londesboro coming out on top with a scare of 7-2. Then Benmiller and, Norjth Clinton staged another tussle. This grain was close as the score would indicate, Benmiller be- ing the victors 6-5 in one of the hard- est fought games of the series. Next Tuesday night the lowest and the highest standing teams in the league battle' out in the first game, Londesboro and Leeburn. Benmiller and. Tuckersmith will play the second game. So' far Landesbora have been able to take all comers and edge out a victory as the league standing would indicate. P W L T F A Pts Londesbora 3 3 0 -0 13 16 '6 S.

Drillers Through Salt Formation Early yesterday morning Gregory and San, drilling contractors encount- ered a salt formation at the Huron- Bruce field at a depth of 1220 feet which continued to a depth cf 1252 feet. The drilled depth of the well was 1280 feet this morning. Mr. Gregory said that the drill was new working in brown shale and he thinks it is possible that they may encounter another layer of salt at possibly an - ether 100 feet. When drilling was started at Stap- leton in 1876 salt was found at 1151 feet and continued to a depth of 1239 feet, Other drillings, at Goderich; brussels, Blyth, Seaforth, Hensall and Exeter found salt in distances vary- ing from 1000 to 1315 feet. "With the progress we are enjoy- ing now it should not be long before we have some indication to work on" said Mr. Gregory when we asked him if he thought he would find oil or , gas. Naturally lie did not want to commit himself to a definite state- ment, but we gathered from his re- marks that he thought the prospects were favorable. The drillers have encountered many difficulties since first starting to work, both at the siteof the well and in'getting supplies there due to the condition of the sideroad which is filled with snow. For some time now supplies have been hauled in by sleigh. For the benefit of those who have not seen salt in its raw state we have placed a sample given us by Mr, Gregory in our window. 11.00 a.m. "One Fold and One Shep- herd." ' 2.00 ,p,m.

The text chosen for the oc- casion was John 4:37 "And herein is: ; that saying true one soweth and an- other other reapeth" Mr. McGoun pointed. out the selfishness of those who re- fuse to start any work ar activity,. unless they are sure of realizing the reieults. Then, he pointed out the unselfish lives of the farmers, who sow the seed in the spring time, and which may be harvested by others, trees are planted, which may not ma- ture in the planter`s lifetime. In speaking ofhiseight years as Rector of St. Paul's, Mr. McGoun said that he hoped .that there may have been. seeds planted that will ripen in the future. Then Mr. McGoon spoke of the many friendly contacts he had made, with the citizens during inc stay in Clinton, and the joy he felt in the many friendships that were the re- sult of these contacts. A letter from Mr. W.' K.
